Case debuted its updated F Series compact wheel loaders in May 2024, featuring new enhancements to improve visibility and control. Key upgrades for the 74-horsepower, 13,663-pound 321F included a new Z-bar linkage, auxiliary high-flow hydraulics combined with creep speed mode, an updated cab with E-H controls and simplified maintenance. The 321F has a full lift dump height of 8 feet 1 inch and a full lift reach of 3 feet 3 inches.
Komatsu calls its 149-horsepower, 28,208-pound WA270-8 wheel loader “compact enough to squeeze between small spaces, yet powerful and responsive enough to tackle jobs planned for bigger machines.” The loader features a parallel-lift linkage with auto tilt-in to simulate a Z-bar. A variable speed traction control system minimizes wheel slippage, even in slippery conditions. HST dynamic braking allows for single-pedal operation. Earlier this year, Komatsu began rolling out its dash-11 models, and we expect to see updated versions of its mid-sized wheel loaders enter the list in future years.
